would it be any problem on the fret? i mean pitching problem from 1st fret to 20++ fret

i think the hardest part would be the fret placing...

emm... no.


the neck is from other guitar.


but location and depth of neck pocket , angle of neck placement, also must take into consideration to avoid problem such as the string is too low or too high.


someone i know (Blues Gang band member) has checked the tonation of the guitar. he said only 1st string has minor tonation problem, maybe cause by the neck.. maybe..
